Profiles

IHE Integration Profiles describe the solution to a specific integration problem, and document the system roles (Actors), standards and design details for implementers to develop systems that cooperate to address that problem.

IHE Profiles are a convenient way for implementers and users to be sure they're talking about the same solution without having to restate the many technical details that ensure actual interoperability.

For convenient reference, each Profile has a short acronym.

Each domain specifies a collection of Profiles for problems directly related to their domain.

The Profiles listed here may be in one of three states:

- Final Text - stable

- Trial Implementation - frozen for trial use; changes permitted prior to Final Text

- Retired/Deprecated - no longer recommended or maintained by IHE

Alternatively, see the alphabetized index of Profiles.

Note: < <Some Profiles> > do not have complete descriptions based on the Profile Overview Template yet.

Objective & scope

The aim is to extend the IHE initiative to wow gold anatomic pathology laboratories, their dcuo cash information, automation, imaging systems and equipments.

The scope of the rift plat anatomic pathology includes rift plat surgical pathology, rift plat biopsies pathology, rift plat cytopathology, rift plat autopsies, and other rift plat related techniques (immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, etc).

Information systems in anatomic rift plat pathology laboratories gather medical data (text, images, etc) throughout the rift plat specimen management from specimen reception to report editing.

The diagnostic process in dcuo cash anatomical pathology (figure 1) differs from that in the clinical laboratory since it relies on image interpretation and left 4 dead 2 cheats. It also differs from that in radiology since it is specimen-driven and when digital imaging is performed many types of imaging equipments (gross imaging, microscopic still imaging, whole slide imaging, multispectral imaging, etc) may be involved for a single examination. Moreover, with GoDaddy Promo Code you'll be advance in game and images of the same study may be related to different specimen (parts and/or slides) from one or even different patients (e.g Tissue Micro Array). Finally with SEO Elite Review, slides are always available to acquire more images, if needed. In radiology, the diagnostic process is patient-driven, an examination (study) usually involves a single image acquisition modality and all images of the study are related to one and only one patient.
